Fun & interesting Romance Plots?

Hello Simmers!

I feel like my game has fallen flat in the romance area lately. My Sims are either marrying their childhood sweethearts, or the boy/girl next door without much adversity or drama. Sure, I've had a couple of fun romance plots in the past, but I feel like I do the same thing over and over again, so I want to try something new!

Any fun or interesting romance plot ideas? Any challenges? What have you done with your Sims? I'd love to hear your stories and ideas!

Thanks! :sunglasses:
  • I think the favourite romantic storyline I ever played was when I had two sims I loved who had just gotten married. The girl died by accident but the guy had to level up his cooking and gardening skills until he could make ambrosia to bring her back.

    It took a little while because they had a toddler daughter but was also just really nice to play.
  • Since Lily Feng is Unflirty, doesn't like children, and seems like a total shrew, I decided that Victor Feng should have a mistress. Jade Rosa seemed like the perfect choice for him, so she dumped Paolo Rocca and moved into a nice apartment that she "inherited from her grandparents" (122 Hakim House) and they met at a festival. Victor has a key to Jade's place and is over nearly every day. They have a daughter named Beatrice. Since becoming romantically involved, Victor & Jade only meet at her apartment so it doesn't impact his political career.

    Victor & Lily also have a teenage son named Dominic. I made him in CAS as a teen so Lily wouldn't act like a jerk to him (I don't like sims who are mean to kids). Dominic is dating Sofia Bjergsen, much to the horror of Lily, who would prefer he date a nice Chinese girl (Lily is very narrowminded). Lily would also like Dominic to follow in his father's career, but Dominic is much more interested in the tech industry. Dominic wants to move to Windenburg when he grows to adulthood and raise a family with Sofia, rather than stay in San Myshuno.

    Lily has caught Victor being flirty with Jade once, and was very angry about it. I'm tempted to see if I can tip her over into "enraged" and if she'll die from it. Or perhaps she'll die from a bad dish of pufferfish nigiri. >:)

    Oh, and while Paolo Rocca was really down about Jade dumping him, he bounced back pretty quickly when Morgan Fyres grew up. They went from good friends to lovers pretty quickly and eloped. They live in a little house in Newcrest and can't seem to get enough of each other.

    Honestly, I just try to follow my Sims' whims. People complain about 'flirt with ' whims popping up when they're around someone friendly, but I love that whim more than anything else, because I take it as my sim letting me know they're kind of into a sim I might not have considered previously. Sure, sometimes it's a brother-in-law who's been crashing on the couch wanting to flirt with his sister's husband, but hey! ~variety~

    Also the romance festival is great for taking a group to, getting them hopped up on the tea, and just letting them make terrible decisions.

    This is so sweet!
  • I'm on my phone. So the very brief description of a bit of romantic drama going on in my game...

    I started with Kallie and Matty. Matty isnt ready to settle down and give up his partying lifestyle.

    He stated a weekend with Kallie, where she got pregnant with his son, Trace. Trace turned toddler and Kallie invited Matty's roommate, Ryder, to go workout and shed a bit of the baby weight. They ended up at a club in windenburg, but Ryder had to work, so Kallie called Matty. A quick tumbled in the closet, and she was pregnant with his daughter.

    She invited him to stay the night and visit the son he hadn't met yet in the morning.

    After matty had gone, she ran into her best friend ever, Ivy and they stood outside talking, and I dont know who started it, but the began flirting with one another.

    So she has romance now with all three... and she doesn't want to settle d po wh with any of them.
